We had the best time talking with @tracichee.bsky.social today! We learned so much about the inspiration behind the realm of Awara and learned some words in the Awaran language she created. What was your favorite part?

Did we spend nearly an hour finally taking down our new years balloons, arranging them on the floor with the books, and meticulously aligning every light in our kit to get this picture? Maybe so.
But in my defense, I have ARCs!!!!!

I hesitate to give interviews about book banning as I feel that other authors have been much more targeted (in super scary ways) than I and are more deserving of sympathy & protection. But I thought, I would try to explain the pain “soft banning” also causes:

When in doubt, make more art. 💪 Half of this month's newsletter is from 2015, on rejection & a book art project called DOUBTS. Half of it is a reflection, ten years later, on what I've since learned about coping with feelings of inadequacy & failure. 🎨

New Substack! 🏔️ Last time I wrote about publishing dreams and why they're valuable, even if they're out of your hands:
